Military Marriage

Hey Sis! Have you ever wondered what makes a military marriage so different? I’m sure y’all have heard all kinds of stories out there. I wish there was more talk around the uniqueness of a military marriage. It definitely comes with it’s own unique challenges!

Key Take Aways:

• “Either a woman loves a man in uniform or she runs in the opposite direction.” - Taccarra Renee
• “Having a strong team takes two complete and healthy team members. Fractions of a person is why people get hurt in relationships.” - Bree Carroll
• “Oftentimes people think boundaries are meant to be for other people, but boundaries are really in place for you and you have to be responsible for upholding them.” - Bree Carroll
• “One of the things that I find that's very interesting with working with this dynamic group of powerhouse women is they still are a little afraid to dream. Oftentimes when you dream up a vacation that you wanna go on, the military is like, uh-uh, he’s getting deployed.” - Bree Carroll

Taccarra Renee is a speaker, strategist, aspiring author, and coach who has made it her goal to help the high achieving “strong” woman to live her most authentic life OUTSIDE of the workplace. She believes that for far too long, women have been told that following the life formula of going to school, making good grades, and getting a good job equals a successful life. Unfortunately, this “formula” has left many women unfulfilled and lacking critical knowledge.   

Using her lifetime of unparalleled life and professional experiences of being a military child turned Army Officer and nurse, Taccarra takes clients through her D.R.E.A.M. and C.O.R.E. framework to assist the professional woman in creating the life that she desires and deserves.
